摘要

The report constitutes the results of a three-day workshop on how to make information resource management work, held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on October 21-23, 1985. The workshop was sponsored by the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology (ICST) of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery, the IEEE Computer Society, and the Federal Data Management Users Group. Patterned after the three previous Data Base Directions workshops, this workshop, Data Base Directions: Information Resource Management -- Making it Work, evaluated current practice to identify problem areas, reviewed important technologies and tools and when to apply them to information resource management, and explored the motivation and inhibitors to decentralized and distributed environments. The approximately seventy workshop participants were organized into four working panels, which met to discuss IRM in the 1990s, IRM and the System Life Cycle, Technologies for IRM, and IRM in a Decentralized and Distributed Environment.
